About time I blogged! Well I have got my reasons why I haven’t and they are mine, so you cant have them!
My computer is coming up to its 4th birthday. Its had its fair share of replacements and new bits a pieces. Two Power Supplies, a hard drive or two, a dvd burner and a firewire card. It seems as if it is just about due for another major part replacement. The motherboard. Here is a pic of my motherboard. See anything unusual?????
I am surprised it is still running with capacitors blown out and leaking so badly! It seems as if I am going to need a replacement motherboard, problem is, unless I change over the ram and CPU, I can’t buy a new one, because the rest of my old parts won’t fit with it. But I figure an old one that works is better than an old one that is just hanging on for deal life!
Ahhhhh.. the wonderful world of computers.
p.s. do you know how old Bloggin Bro’s (the website, not the actual bro’s) is tomorow???
4 years?
You’re computer is gonna cause a meltdown on the southside of brisbane by the looks of it!
Happy 1st Bloggin Bro Birthday!
(I cheated, I looked at when your archives started)
Thats what a smart person would do…. 🙂
Those caps are dead.
Hopefullly they are all decoupling caps for smoothing the power supply signal.
As long as your power supply is outputting a relatively stable signal all *should* be good for a little while but that computer is on its last legs I would think. Enjoy it while you got it 😛
Um…what Ryan said!
